BOOK REVIEW:

The Binge Eating & Compulsive Overeating Workbook: An Integrated Approach to Overcoming Disordered Eating. By Carolyn Coker Ross, MD, MPH. In this workbook, Dr. Carolyn Ross adds a unique voice to the field of eating disorders. She is a physician, a graduate of Andrew Weil’s integrative medicine program, a consultant to several eating disorder programs, and board-certified in addiction medicine. Dr. Ross specializes in a holistic approach which embraces the comprehensive healing of the client’s body, mind, and spirit.

In her book she explains the curative role of macro and micro nutrients, vitamins, and dietary supplements; explores the role of complementary medicine such as acupuncture, massage, and yoga; discusses the value of various types of psychological help such as interpersonal, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, and CBT therapies as well as the role of medication. Self-rating scales throughout the workbook help the reader identify their personal roadblocks to recovery, and she provides strategies to work through them.

“Ultimately,” she writes, “the healing process is about getting back to your true self, the self that expresses the deeper urges of your soul. Your soul self is the anchor that sustains you in recovery.” The importance of cultivating your “soul self” resonated for me as so many of my patients in recovery from their overeating discuss their “false” selves and describe how they fake their feelings in order to get along in their relationships. I gently explain that it takes a lot of calories to stuff down your real self and fake your way through life! Readers of this workbook will learn how to design their own personal stress management plan. Dr. Ross wisely recommends, “In all things, choose the thought or action that makes you feel the most whole.” This valuable workbook will show you how.
